Overhyped disappointment

I was disappointed with this toy as it was so expensive and looked rather pleasing on the screen. The package it arrives in even set my expectations high. The vibrations are weak, however, and there is almost no vibration in the clitoral stimulator which is also too weak at the joint to the shaft to be of any real use. The final blow is the lack of time Zini will hold a charge. You have to plan ahead with this toy.

Pros:

Pleasing appearance and unique design. It is rechargeable, saving you batteries.

This rabbit stylized vibrator is silicone, making it easy to clean and sanitize, so you can use this toy anywhere you can think of. Any bundle of nerves will be stimulated by vibrations, so it's great for anywhere you want to garner sensitization on the body, especially the most sensitive ends. I think this toy would work for anyone, in theory.

The vibration sequences are rather on the quiet side, making this toy easy to use most anywhere with the exception of if you have a roommate (in the same room with you). It is theoretically waterproof, but I never tested that.

The texture is smooth in the middle, with a swollen end texturized by an extra ring at the end. The shaft tapers down rather quickly to a narrow one, and the insertable length is on the small side at around four inches. Size queens would not have much fun with this toy. Silicone does not have any taste or smell. I would say the texture of this toy is for everyone.

The rabbit end of the vibrator is smooth and has no texture to help stimulate the clitoris beyond grinding against it. Although the silicone is firm within itself, the clitoral stimulator portion of this vibrator does not have a separate bullet within and is far too flexible at the joint with the main toy to allow for much, if any, pressure on the clitoris.

It is discreet in the sense that it is not clearly meant to imitate a penis. It is streamlined and rather aesthetically pleasing. I would rather it was more pleasing in other ways though. It's fairly easy to hide in your drawer, under your bed, or where ever you please, provided it is bagged to keep it from touching other materials. It is lightweight and easy to pack for travel.

This vibrator functions include roller-coaster, which means a cycle of weak to strong vibrations, steady and a few other patterns in the mix. The buttons are easy to operate one-handed or by feel as they slightly rise up just a bit from the plastic.

The vibrations are less than average, in regards to my personal experience. There are not that many options, but I really find less is more in general. However, the lack of separate bullet for the clitoral stimulator is disappointing as the vibrations are almost non-existent through there. The toy is very quiet.

Zini is rechargeable. The lack of necessary batteries is great in theory. However, when real world practice comes into the equation, it can be frustrating when you didn't plan to use the toy a day or two in advance. A full charge takes approximately eight hours. However, if Zini is not used within a day or two, the charge dissipates, requiring you to charge again before use. There is no quick charge either.

This toy is easy to clean and sanitize. You can use a spray sanitizer or just hot water and soap. I tend to use only water based lubes with silicone and they work well. I store mine in a cotton bag, inside a "toy" box. I would suggest doing the same as silicone does have a reputation for having a chemical melt if stored against other materials.

Zini arrived in a black, magnetized, rectangular box. I use this box to store it now, along with a couple of other small toys. It is discreet in that the toy is not obvious when you see the package. It is encased in clear plastic once you raise the magnetized lid. The box is definitely useable as a gift box and easily wrapped.

Zini is on the small side. I found that how narrow the bottom of the shaft is, coupled with the girth at the top, made for a frustrating experience. The clitoral stimulator was flexible and really did nothing for me due to how easily it just bent away combined with weak vibration out that end of the toy. The vibrations come from the dildo portion and are supposed to flow out through the clitoral stimulator. I found this didn't work well at all. I believe I am on the small end of average in depth. That said, this toy was still too small. I would definitely say a beginner would have little problem with this size; usability is another ballgame. Perhaps there is too steep of a learning curve with this toy.

The other disappointment for me was that you have to plan ahead with this toy. Having a rechargeable toy seems like a great idea, however if Zini is not used shortly, a recharge is necessary and I don't tend to plan ahead. I like to be spontaneous and use a variety of paraphernalia, not just one toy. This makes using Zini a bit frustrating. If there was some sort of quick charge for a one time use, the recharging system would be more useful.
